TAILORS TEMPLET FOR MAKING PATTERNS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 31, 1907.

Application filed February 19, 1907. Serial No. 358,231.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JosEPH F. SoI-IoEPPL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore city, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tailors Templets for Making Patterns, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to tailors templets for the marking and laying off of patterns for different kinds of garments, the primary object of my invention being to provide a templet of the character to be hereinafter described, that the making of the several styles of patterns as applicable to the different styles of garments may be facilitated and at the same time provide a means whereby the uniformity in the several similar lines or like parts composing the garment to be made can be maintained.

WVith the aforegoing object in view, my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, which will be hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings in which like letters and figures of reference are used to indicate corresponding parts, in each of the several views: Figure 1 is a plan view of my invention; Figs. 2 and 3 are plan views of modified forms, and Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2.

A is the body part made of any suitable madterial but preferably of transparent celluloi 1 is a concave edge of the body part and 2 is a convex edge, for the purpose of cutting the front edge or apron of a coat; 3 are circular openings for the purpose of inserting therethrough the point of a pencil or other suitable marking instrument.

4 designates the continuation of a templet, which continuation is not continued or cut wholly out that the body portion may not be unnecessarily weakened.

5 indicates the guide line for the cutting of a pattern for a pointed lapel of a garment, and 6 for a similar purpose; where the lapel desired to be cut is blunt or not so pointed.

7 is a guide line for the cutting of a pattern for a shawl roll lapel; that part of the guide line 7, as indicated from 8 to 9 is for the purpose of cutting a pattern for the back curve of a coat or similar garment; the line desig nated 7, from the points indicated from 10 to 11 for the neck pattern of a coat or shawl lapel for a vest, and from 10 to 12 a guide for diverse shoulder lines of a coat or similar garment; guide lines 13 and 14 indicate a general curvature for a neck pattern; 15 and 16 are guide lines for cutting the bottom corners of a coat or similar garment; 17 and 18 are guide lines for cutting the front edges of U shaped dress vest collars; 19 and 20 are guide lines for cutting the outside edges of dress vest collars; 21 and 22 are guide lines for the ordinary neck curve of a coat or similar garment; 23 is a guide line for the curvature of a neck for a vest and 24 is a guide line for the curvature of a round off corner; 32 is a guide line for the arm hole of a coat and can also be used for cutting the cape thereof.

In Fig. 2, beginning at the point desig nated 25 on line 2, and following on line 2 to point designated 26, then to point 27, thence to 28, thence to point 31,thence along line 1 to point 29, thence back to the point of beginning, is formed an outline for a pattern for a notched vest collar.

30 designates a circular opening for the purpose of cutting out cloth for the covering of buttons and also serves as a finger hole guide for cutting holes in the patterns that they may be hung on any suitable device out of the way when not in use.

It will thus be seen that I have provided a device wherein a great saving of time and labor will result in the use thereof, by reason of combining the many teinplets in a single article. Its cheapness of manufacture and accuracy of purpose for which it is intended commend it to the trade to which it appertains.

It will be appreciated that my invention is characterized by the great economy in space which is effected in providing for so large a number of patterns in one templet. To this end, it will be seen, I have provided a templet consisting of a fiat elongated body bounded along one side by a concave edge and along the opposite side by a convex edge of varying curvature, and within this body I have formed a plurality of closely adjacent slots some of which are of varying curvature, the edges of some of the slots bein prolonged by means of small holes formed t rough the body. In order to accommodate the large number of slots in one templet, I form two sets of the slots, one set occupying each end half of the templet, and the members of each set being arranged with the concave edge of one slot opposed to the convex edge of the next slot.

Slight changes might be resorted to in the form and arrangement of the several parts described without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, hence I do not desire to limit myself to the exact construction as herein set forth; but,

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

A tailors templet consisting of a fiat elongated body bounded along one side by a concave edge and along the opposite side by a convex edge of varying curvature, and having cut in its interior a plurality of elongated, closely-adjacent slots, some of which are of varying curvature, the edges of some of the slots being prolonged by means of small holes formed through the body, and the slots being so grouped that each end half of the body is occupied by a set of slots all arranged with the concave edge of one slot opposed to the convex edge of the next slot, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
